Genius Warlock-Episode 109
Phew! The druid fell to the ground with a sound..
Oliver moved right away..
I focused my eyes, and there were more than ten intruders inside the villa, searching in groups of two..
Fortunately, Jane was rescued by the corpse dolls and just escaped outside..
However, he couldn't relax because Nina of Demon Gun was persistently targeting Jane..
First, I had to get their attention.
“……Can I ask you a question??”
Oliver spoke into the communication device, just in case. Then came a surprising response..
[Fuck, how are you alive? Scott is?!]
"I was lucky, Mr. Scott was unlucky..”
[!!!]
Although it was a communication device and couldn't read emotions, Oliver could feel Nina's agitation..
As if to prove this, a purple magic circle appeared in front of Oliver..
[this dog..…!]
Oliver thought.
When she first showed the weapon's capabilities.
It was truly impressive, but even though it was a function of the weapon, firing magical bullets at a desired point was very threatening..
You can stay safe yourself, but attack your enemy at the worst possible time..
However, in order to find a shooting point, she had to see this place, and perhaps for that purpose, she wore magical goggles..
In other words, look at this place before shooting..
Oliver ignited the emotions he was holding in his hands and burst them, creating a tremendous amount of light in an instant..
Black light brighter than light.
It was a slight manipulation of the fire caused by the puppet, and perhaps it actually worked, as the purple magic circle slowly disappeared..
[Wow! Holy bastard——!!!]
"sorry.”
Oliver apologized and gave instructions to the zombies remotely..
Attack the intruders who entered the villa..
The zombies in the villa followed orders well, but unfortunately, they were unable to properly subdue the intruders, perhaps due to a lack of zombies..
Of course, there were times when the intruders responded well, but it didn't seem like they were at the level of a gang with only guns..
‘Well, it doesn't matter.’
As Oliver gave additional orders, the zombies suddenly began to self-destruct when they got close to the intruders..
puck--!! puck--!! puck——!!
Every time a dull explosion sounded, screams echoed throughout the villa.,
The intruders suffered indirect damage from the explosion and infection from blisters..
Although it was emotionally draining, it was definitely effective. I felt like I would use it often when I was feeling relaxed..
"This damn guy..…!!”
An intruder suddenly appeared in the hallway and pointed a gun at Oliver..
One side of his face was covered in purple blisters, which were quite fatal..
It was a truly unfortunate case. Blisters can heal naturally as long as they do not reach a certain level..
But, that's it, work is work..
Oliver swung the quarter staff, raised the muzzle of the gun, and then slammed the quarter staff down again, hitting the attacker in the face..
A face full of purple blisters.
width-! The blisters burst with a sound, and the pain must have been so great that he screamed and sat down, clutching his face..
Thanks to this, another attacker waiting behind him raised his gun, but Oliver shot the hat bullet one step faster than that, knocking him out, and then hit the first attacker's head with a quarter staff..
Suddenly——!
He felt something breaking, but Oliver was busy so he didn't care and ran forward and jumped out through the window..
Thanks to the little black suit left on my legs, I was practically bare, but even when I tried to put the black suit back on, I still didn't feel good enough..
I guess I spent more than I thought dealing with zombies..
‘The druid is right. Black magic's ability to sustain combat is too poor. I need to improve.’
Oliver organized his thoughts, extracted his emotions, and called the corpse doll over here..
A moment later, the corpse doll walked out of the forest, holding Jane in a frozen position with a half-horrified expression..
"This is... . Are you Dave??”
Jane asked with a mixture of emotions: disgust, shock, fear, and bewilderment..
She still didn't seem to understand what was going on..
"Well, so... ..the bodyguards-”
“-Tried to kill her?”
“..…yes.”
"After listening to Mr. Scott, it seemed like he betrayed me..”
“Scott.?”
"Yes, Druid Bunyo. with green hair.”
“..…Did he betray you too??”
"Yes, and I think you betrayed Nina and Duncan too. I don't know exactly when, but I think it was before I came to the villa..”
Jane looked shocked..
A tremendous sense of anger and betrayal burned inside, but along with that, there were also feelings of despair, resignation, and emptiness..
"why..…."
"well. That's me too-”
It was then.
Nina must have regained her vision by activating the magic circle again, trying to finish off Oliver and Jane at the same time..
"third."
When Oliver called, Third, who was in rags, pulled Jane..
Then I focused on the magic circle and was able to see beyond the magic circle like the black magic item 'Watcher's Eye'..
Nina blinked out of focus, perhaps because she hadn't fully recovered yet.,
Oliver gathered his emotions and created a dark magic circle right in front of Nina..
Recalling how Hilton, the exclusive warlock of the Hoffman family, created a dark magic circle in the air..
Bullets of hatred gathered in the black magic circle, and surprisingly they were fired, creating a small hole in Nina's chest..
A magic circle that disappears in vain.
Jane asked.
“..…Well, what did you do??”
"I chased Nina back and shot her first..”
Jane was silent at Oliver's calm tone and then asked again..
"....Lord, are you dead??”
"Wouldn't he have died because there was a hole in his chest??”
"......."
Jane kept her mouth shut in response to Oliver's question. And then I looked around and it was the same for Oliver..
I concentrated on my eyes, but since it was a deserted place, there were no other people except Jane and Oliver himself. I was truly fortunate..
At least there were no more enemies..
I still had some vitality and emotions left, but if I met an enemy like a druid, I would have run out. It wasn't a very relaxing situation..
‘Hmm, maybe it's good? This is the first time this has happened.’
Indeed, it was so. All Oliver had done so far was just do what was told without much thought, but now he had to think for himself..
While I was thinking about what to do, I heard a familiar yet unfamiliar sound..
“Fuck..… . It's going to turn. really.”
When I turned my head, I saw the pink-haired Jane with a serious expression..
It was an expression that contrasted with the usual bright smile..
"……First of all, how about moving??”
"what? no… . yes? I beg your pardon.”
"First of all, I asked him if he wanted to leave this place. It seems like he's determined to harm the young lady, but it'll be dangerous if he stays like this. First of all, I think it would be best to get out of here. At least in my opinion.”
Jane made a subtle expression..
“..…You're helping me in this situation.?”
“…? I'm not here to help you. It's just my job. Weren't you hired to protect the former lady? from now on… ...for five days..”
She looked at Oliver with a puzzled expression..
The reaction seemed unexpected, and Oliver wondered if he had said something wrong..
"uh..… . And you taught me a lot of interesting things..”
a moment of silence.
Jane laughed briefly, ‘Ha-’.
It was a refreshing and more sincere laugh compared to the smile I usually make..
"I guess there is no law that says people should die... ..but where else can I go??”
"well. Shouldn't we go back to Landa? Is there nowhere to ask for help??”
Jane bit her lower lip and thought deeply..
The girl-like appearance she had shown over the past few days disappeared everywhere, and she had the same face as the employees I saw at Coco or Angel's House, but for some reason, I felt like I was finally seeing her true face now..
I like it.
“Sigh… ..there is one.”
"I don't think it's a place I really like..”
"Yeah, that's a bit like that. Still, there is nothing we can do. Because there are times when there is nothing you can do. By the way, Landa is a bit far from here. Is there a way to get there??”
Instead of answering, Oliver pointed to the car parked in front of the villa..
"Do you know how to drive a car??”
"Yes, I learned it in half a day..”
“….Half a day?”
"Yes, half a day..”

Beep, click, click!
As soon as the communication device beeped, Duncan picked it up..
It was a secret communication device made by Hermes, and it was difficult to find traces of calls unless you were a high-ranking net navigator, and it was quite expensive..
Usually, companies, troubleshooters, gangsters, politicians, etc. bought a lot when they were doing something dirty. Like right now.
[manager.]
"Okay, how did it go??”
[I feel like I failed.]
“..…what?”
Duncan was uncharacteristically surprised..
Because it was a mission that could not fail..
Five conciliatory bodyguards, two druids, and two excellent solvers like Nina of the Demon Gun..
They even deployed three Pinkman teams to prepare for any emergency..
No matter how much the stock price was rising, the three problem solvers and the bodyguards who could only guard it were not enough to stop it..
Even protecting a young woman who doesn't know anything about the world..
However, stories denying this poured out beyond the communication device..
[I just checked out the inside of the villa. All of our people are dead..]
"Report in detail.”
[Druid Scott is half-decayed, with rotting flesh and blood strewn everywhere. Half of Pinkman has fallen as a zombie, and the other half is either flying or rotting... .. Even Nina, who was in charge of support in the panic room, died with her chest pierced..]
"......."
Duncan was silent..
I was surprised, but that didn't mean I stopped thinking..
Using my past experience as an executive at Pinkman's office, I understood the situation through the given report..
"Are there any bodies other than ours??”
[..…There is Russell, a magic fighter who died with vines in his mouth, and Godry, a troubleshooter for veterans..]
"So, there's no Jane and the warlock..”
[Yes, by the way, since there wasn't a single car, it looks like he got into it and ran away..]
"......."
Duncan was once again in trouble..
How could it be that a warlock brought in by a prostitute was sabotaging things like this?.
Of course, after researching it, I knew it wasn't something I was talking about, but even so, this was more than I expected..
I thought I could crush him by pushing him in one go with Scott, who has excellent close combat skills, without letting him take out the corpse doll. It seemed like a misjudgment..
Even so, I never thought they would take down the three teams of Nina and Pinkman. How on earth?
Duncan thought for a moment that the rumor that a warlock named Dave was related to puppets might be true..
‘Such nonsense…….'
"Hey, what's going on??”
I turned my head when I heard Duncan calling me..
Sitting there was an old woman, her son, and her daughter who stubbornly maintained their youth with expensive magic items..
“..…There's a bit of a problem.”
“It's a problem?”
A look of blatant contempt. It was a sight that only the so-called nobles could do..
“..…If this happens, it will be difficult. Duncan. If you want to get paid, you have to do the job right..”
“..…Do not worry. Because it’s within the assumed range.”
"assumed range?”
"Yes, so just trust me. Eventually, you will have to come to this city. Excuse me for a moment.”
Duncan came out of the room without answering. They hired him because they needed him anyway, so there was no need to look any further than this..
As evidence, Mrs. Rock and her two children only frowned. I couldn't catch Duncan, but either way, he came out and pressed button 3 to contact someone..
Beep-beep-beep beeping sound. Finally I heard a click.
[What's going on? Contact me this way.?]
"As I said last time, I will give you a share. help me.”
